Thank you so much to all of you who serve, served and offer support to those in the armed forces. In honor of Veteran’s Day, we would like to share this free helmet liner pattern. There are many fine organizations that take donations of these liners and send them to the troops. Ask at your local yarn shop or church to find one in your area.

The ideal liner would be made from a soft 100% wool as synthetic fibers can not be warn by Marines in combat zones. The perfect yarn for this is Galway and the preferred colors are 9 (Black), 152, (Brown), 155 (Dark Tan), 751 (Grey), or 704 (Charcoal).

Size: Hat is sized to fit an adult head.
Finished Measurements: 22” around
